Question

How do I make it so that:

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ spotsite.php?pid=$1 [QSA,L]

Doesn’t match my homepage, which is www.mysite.com? As of now, every time I navigate to my main page, it annoyingly redirects me to this spotsite as well.. I don’t want this to happen.. I only want to redirect only if it’s www.mysite.com/somerandomnumberhere

Add this rule prior to the one mentioned:

RewriteRule ^/?$ index.html [L]

Change index.html with whatever your directory index page is (index.php, etc). You can also replace index.html with just / if you wish to preserve the url.
